The aim of this course is to broaden the experience of students by
asking expert guest lecturers to discuss real-world issues which are
of current interest to the computer community. The course title has
changed from “Additional Topics” to “Topical Issues” in 2010-11
for clarity only: the substance of the course remains the same.

This course provides an introduction to wide range of topical Computer
Science subjects and provides coverage of topics not lectured in Part
II due to sabbatical leave. In 2011-12 Topical issues will include:

3 lectures on Human-Computer Interaction

4 lectures on the handling of large datasets

12 lectures on topics that will be based on the
2010-11
course
but are
subject to change in order to remain topical
